It was late at night when Mary finished her performance at the radio.
It always ends after 2 o’clock at night. She was tired after four years since she hadn’t slept early in the evening.
She was giving love tips, she was hosting a very popular show. The show was about the confession of many people who felt the need to talk without revealing their identity. She was only presenting 4 hours of broadcasting, but she was exhausted after finishing. She was changing the songs, she was putting the commercials on and she was live talking on the phone with the listeners. The late nights when she was arriving home she was finding Gave in her bed, often sleeping. He was her life partner with whom she was sharing a quarter of the night. That’s what happened tonight when she came back from work. He was asleep deeply and he startled when she entered the room.
– Hello, have you come back? Sorry I fell asleep! I was so tired!
– No problem! I’ll go take a shower!
– Can I wash your back? Or where do you want?
– You are so funny! Come here!
He let go of the water in the tub and put a little bubble bath in it, letting her get in the tub, relax, and he stood on the edge of the bat, admiring her. He had taken a bath sponge and he put water from time to time over the cold body that wanted to be warmed up.
– You are so beautiful! I would like to have you next to me a whole night!
– And I would like to wake up late in the morning with you next to me!
– You know we can not do that right now!
– You know that your son is 17 years old, he is not a young child who needs to have someone near him when he wakes up!
– Young teenagers need more supervision. Now there are great dangers. I do not know what he does all night when I’m not home!
She turned his head and did not look him in the eyes anymore. She was tired of waking up every morning alone, to drink her coffee and to be with him only 2 hours per night, sometimes he was even sleeping, she was taking him in her arms without him feeling at all. He stood up and walked out of the bathroom, waiting for her in bed. She washed herself, took a few minutes to relax her shoulders in the sparkling water, and then she went out, wrapping herself in a white towel.
– I was hoping us to be married by the end of the year! My biological clock will not wait for a long time!
He certainly knew what she was talking about and did not answer it.
– Will you go to Chicago again?
– Yes, at the end of the week! I’ll be the only woman among 5 macho men! You are jealous?
– Very cool!
He tossed the towel away and began to caress her and kiss her with fire, then he retired.
– I have to go, unfortunately!
She covered herself in the sheet again and hid her disappointment. He stood up, dressed and wished her a “good way” in her journey. In the car he turned on the air conditioning and went home. The sun was already beginning to show up on the horizon. At the first traffic light he had to wait until the green color came, so he leaned his head against the wheel of the car, thinking about her. He was leaving her alone again, he did not know how to share himself between those two. That morning he fell asleep sad and full of thoughts. He was going to stay for a few days alone and he was going to miss her. At home, he found his son sleeping, he looked at him and he was pleased that he was not causing any problems. Probably it was the time to start a life again, a life with Mary, the one he loved. He had not thought of a serious relationship for many years since his wife died and he remained alone with a child.
Mary spent those days away from him at a seminar in Chicago. She was trying not to think about him, about the future with him. There was a very attractive young man who, after dinner, invited her to a glass o something in his room. She knew she would not just invite her to drink a Cuba Libre, but she took that risk. She felt the need for a change, of something else in her life. What she had at home was no longer satisfying her, especially because she had only 2-3 hours each night, and they were not having sex every time. They drank together a couple of glasses and talked about the day together. After the few glasses he approached her and kissed her, telling her what all the men who want a woman in their bed say. She accepted and she let herself go, responding to his advances. He undressed her and they made love in that big bed. He was a well endowed, sexy and attentive man. It was just that time, then everything was going to be left behind. He penetrated her deeply into the vagina. She liked it, she had never had a man in her bed, so endowed. He made love with her until exhaustion, then she took her clothes and went to the room where she lived. In all five days as they stayed there, Gave did not call her at all. She began to understand that they were not going to continue the relationship, that she hoped for a family in vain. She slept with Alex for the rest of the nights, then they took goodbye, as if nothing had happened between them. And it was just a very strong sexual attraction, they felt good and that was all. He was having a family, and she did not want more than that.
The morning when she left, she packed her bags and thought a little about Gave. She was not understanding why everything broke between them, why did he not call her? She checked the phone again and found nothing. She took her luggage and left for the airport with her thoughts. She arrived home by taxi, no one was expecting her. She did not call Gave, she moved on with her life. She was thinking that if he chose that, it’s best for both of them. She did not want to be alone, she wanted someone to stay with her. It’s been two months since she came back from Chicago. One night she was returning from the radio, and Gave was waiting in the car in front of the house. She saw the car and her heart began to beat very fast. She missed him, she’d have jumped in his arms that second. He got off the car and he approached her.
– I miss you so much! I can not live without you!
– You do not have to say that just because you want to have sex again with me and so! I will no longer accept to be just the woman you sleep with!
He got down on his knees and asked her to be his wife, in his pocket he had a ring that fit her finger. They entered the house and began to hug, kiss and make love. She told him about the adventure she had, and he forgave her, living happily with each other.
